Why


Why should you say the things you say?

Why should I change for your average day to day?

Why should I have to not be me for you?

I love me, don't you too?

Why can't I be me without your persecution?

Is it your job to make me feel less, do I need that contribution?

Should I be able to live with me being me?

Do you need to be their to make me feel down and make me weep?

Do you need to be there to think that you are better than me?

Why am I held in your word captivity?

Why can't you just leave me alone? 

why?
